20th Century Fox is in production to start filming the prequel to Planet of the Apes titled "Rise of the Apes" this July. The film stars James Franco, who beat out his Spiderman buddy Toby Maguire for the main role, and will use the same special effects team from Avatar using photos of real apes. The screenplay will be written by Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, who wrote Relic in 1997, and to be directed by Rupert Wyatt, who did The Escapist in 2008. The film is stated to have a June 2011 release.
